The effect of multiple outgrowths from bronchial tissue explants on progenitor/stem cell number in primary bronchial epithelial cell cultures from smokers and patients with COPD.

Background: Although studies suggest a deficiency in stem cell numbers in chronic airway diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the role of bronchial epithelial progenitor/stem (P/S) cells is not clear. The objectives of this study were to investigate expression of progenitor/stem (P/S) cell markers, cytokeratin (CK) 5, CK14 and p63 in bronchial epithelial explants and cell cultures obtained from smokers with and without COPD following multiple outgrowths, and to study this effect on bronchial epithelial cell (BEC) proliferation.

Methods: Bronchial epithelial explants were dissected from lung explants and cultured on coverslips.

Current status (as of end of 2020) of marine alien species in Turkey.

The 2020's update of marine alien species list from Turkey yielded a total of 539 species belonging to 18 taxonomic groups, 404 of which have become established in the region and 135 species are casual. A total of 185 new alien species have been added to the list since the previous update of 2011. The present compilation includes reports of an ascidian species (Rhodosoma turcicum) new to the marine fauna of Turkey and range extensions of six species.

Results of vitrectomy in giant tear retinal detachments.

Introduction: Giant tear retinal detachments have long been recognized for their management difficulties and poor anatomical surgical prognosis.

Method: Retrospective, descriptive study of 15 patients collected from IOHRT Department A. These patients were treated for rheumatogenic retinal detachment by giant tear.
